/**
 * .. _information-modelling:
 *
 * Information Modelling
 * =====================
 *
 * Information modelling in OPC UA combines concepts from object-orientation and
 * semantic modelling. At the core, an OPC UA information model is a graph made
 * up of
 *
 * - Nodes: There are eight possible Node types (variable, object, method, ...)
 * - References: Typed and directed relations between two nodes
 *
 * Every node is identified by a unique (within the server) :ref:`nodeid`.
 * Reference are triples of the form ``(source-nodeid, referencetype-nodeid,
 * target-nodeid)``. An example reference between nodes is a
 * ``hasTypeDefinition`` reference between a Variable and its VariableType. Some
 * ReferenceTypes are *hierarchic* and must not form *directed loops*. See the
 * section on :ref:`ReferenceTypes <referencetypenode>` for more details on
 * possible references and their semantics.
 *
 * **Warning!!** The structures defined in this section are only relevant for
 * the developers of custom Nodestores. The interaction with the information
 * model is possible only via the OPC UA :ref:`services`. So the following
 * sections are purely informational so that users may have a clear mental
 * model of the underlying representation.
 *
 * Base Node Attributes
 * --------------------
 *
 * Nodes contain attributes according to their node type. The base node
 * attributes are common to all node types. In the OPC UA :ref:`services`,
 * attributes are referred to via the :ref:`nodeid` of the containing node and
 * an integer :ref:`attribute-id`.
 *
 * Internally, open62541 uses ``UA_Node`` in places where the exact node type is
 * not known or not important. The ``nodeClass`` attribute is used to ensure the
 * correctness of casting from ``UA_Node`` to a specific node type. */

/**
 * VariableNode
 * ------------
 *
 * Variables store values in a :ref:`datavalue` together with
 * metadata for introspection. Most notably, the attributes data type, value
 * rank and array dimensions constrain the possible values the variable can take
 * on.
 *
 * Variables come in two flavours: properties and datavariables. Properties are
 * related to a parent with a ``hasProperty`` reference and may not have child
 * nodes themselves. Datavariables may contain properties (``hasProperty``) and
 * also datavariables (``hasComponents``).
 *
 * All variables are instances of some :ref:`variabletypenode` in return
 * constraining the possible data type, value rank and array dimensions
 * attributes.
 *
 * Data Type
 * ^^^^^^^^^
 *
 * The (scalar) data type of the variable is constrained to be of a specific
 * type or one of its children in the type hierarchy. The data type is given as
 * a NodeId pointing to a :ref:`datatypenode` in the type hierarchy. See the
 * Section :ref:`datatypenode` for more details.
 *
 * If the data type attribute points to ``UInt32``, then the value attribute
 * must be of that exact type since ``UInt32`` does not have children in the
 * type hierarchy. If the data type attribute points ``Number``, then the type
 * of the value attribute may still be ``UInt32``, but also ``Float`` or
 * ``Byte``.
 *
 * Consistency between the data type attribute in the variable and its
 * :ref:`VariableTypeNode` is ensured.
 *
 * Value Rank
 * ^^^^^^^^^^
 *
 * This attribute indicates whether the value attribute of the variable is an
 * array and how many dimensions the array has. It may have the following
 * values:
 *
 * - ``n >= 1``: the value is an array with the specified number of dimensions
 * - ``n =  0``: the value is an array with one or more dimensions
 * - ``n = -1``: the value is a scalar
 * - ``n = -2``: the value can be a scalar or an array with any number of dimensions
 * - ``n = -3``: the value can be a scalar or a one dimensional array
 *
 * Consistency between the value rank attribute in the variable and its
 * :ref:`variabletypenode` is ensured.
 *
 * Array Dimensions
 * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 *
 * If the value rank permits the value to be a (multi-dimensional) array, the
 * exact length in each dimensions can be further constrained with this
 * attribute.
 *
 * - For positive lengths, the variable value is guaranteed to be of the same
 *   length in this dimension.
 * - The dimension length zero is a wildcard and the actual value may have any
 *   length in this dimension.
 *
 * Consistency between the array dimensions attribute in the variable and its
 * :ref:`variabletypenode` is ensured. */

 *
 * For the following example of custom ReferenceTypes, we attempt to model the
 * structure of a technical system. For this, we introduce two custom
 * ReferenceTypes. First, the hierarchical ``contains`` ReferenceType indicates
 * that a system (represented by an OPC UA object) contains a component (or
 * subsystem). This gives rise to a tree-structure of containment relations. For
 * example, the motor (object) is contained in the car and the crankshaft is
 * contained in the motor. Second, the symmetric ``connectedTo`` ReferenceType
 * indicates that two components are connected. For example, the motor's
 * crankshaft is connected to the gear box. Connections are independent of the
 * containment hierarchy and can induce a general graph-structure. Further
 * subtypes of ``connectedTo`` could be used to differentiate between physical,
 * electrical and information related connections. A client can then learn the
 * layout of a (physical) system represented in an OPC UA information model
 * based on a common understanding of just two custom reference types. */
